The Phase of Purification Called Growth

Part 1/2

By Steve Beckow

Posted on August 29, 2023


Only the car has been hit: earlier California DEW attacks

Whether we care to acknowledge it to ourselves or not, we’re operationally at war. Rumor has it that the white hats regard the DEW attacks on Lahaina as an act of war and responded to it with lethal force.

Certainly the deep state has resolved to make war on humanity, aiming to depopulate the globe to a docile 500 million who’d then serve them. (1)

Stop the camera.

Doesn’t all this sound familiar? Are we watching a James Bond movie? Did we just wake up in the Roman Empire? Or are we fighting the Second World War again?

Well, certainly the latter. The Second World War saw some nations consider themselves destined to rule the world and attempt to defeat all others. They failed. No empire that I’m aware of has succeeded over time.

But what’s the answer to this ongoing and miserable story of human warfare?

***

I have to dip into my spiritual toolbox to reply. And this is just my personal answer.

Classical enlightenment theorists talk about a “longing for liberation,” a subject which I’ve covered elsewhere. (2)

It’s a built-in, subtidal thirst that can be satisfied only by the experience and realization of … God or Mother/Father God or the One – whatever name you prefer to use – Buddha Nature, Parabrahman, the Tao.

Notice that the longing is a desire. So right at the heart of the design workings of the human being we find desire.

Ego arises to satisfy our desires. So now we have “I” (ego) plus “want” (desire): “I want” is born, ready to issue orders to the ego.

Now here is where the problems come in that lead to conflict.

First of all, the ego is a false “I.”  It’s not our permanent “I,” which is God.

It’s there as long as we have material, bodily, sensory, physical wants. It’s simply our aide-de-camp, there for a while to see that the jobs we assign it get done.

It’s also there to protect us, to ensure our survival and the survival of anything we identify with (me and mine). But it can’t help us with spiritual unfoldment.

It doesn’t outlast our desires. Once we become desireless, the ego falls silent, as you’ve seen in my case some years back.

In 2020, I experienced the mind chatter suddenly stop. (3) One minute it was on; the next minute it was off and has never come back.

When the ego has no more desires to serve, I predict that it’ll fall silent.

And it has no more desires to serve as a result of a basic spiritual movement.

Keep in mind, when considering that movement, the action of the longing for liberation, which is satisfied only by [your name for God].

***

I’ve long held that the basic spiritual movement is what I phrase as turning from the world to God. (4)

When we turn from our sensory, physical, material desires and instead desire Mother/Father God’s love, bliss, and other divine qualities, then spiritual faculties we have in us begin to awaken. Here the ego can play no (commanding) role.

You read yesterday of me connecting more and deeper with my Higher Self. (5) That’s an example of a spiritual faculty beginning to awaken. In these realms of Light, so to speak, the ego has no part to play. The spirit emerges as the driver of the car.

Therefore, we can say that what we desire matters. Desire worldly gains, possessions, and experiences and we awaken the ego. The guardian soon becomes the guard.

Desire only the divine qualities and the Source of them and we leave the world of the ego behind. The Self emerges more and more in us, helped along by our Board of Directors on the other side. (6)

In Part 2, we start the camera again and return to our present state of war.

End of part 1

Part 2/2


Georgia Guidestones, destroyed by a ray of unknown origin.


(Concluded from Part 1, above.)

Start the cameras again.

Apparently, the deep state desires the enslavement of the remainder of humanity who survive their vaccines, FEMA camps, DEW attacks, “climate change,” 15-minute cities, “energy shortage” (with free energy available?), etc.

The Divine Mother (my preferred name for God) has determined that an Ascension will take place unlike any that has ever occurred before. Historic is too small a word for it. (1)

Given her divine intention, those who continue to want to kill and enslave their fellows are on a fast track to their own removal. From a heart attack, a fall, revenge – whatever exit means are available. (2)

The white hats are draining their bank accounts.  Our star family will permit neither nuclear war nor world war so we’re watching a great deal of military theatrics. (3) One nation shoots dud missiles into the air, the mainstream media plays up the story, and other nations react with fear. Nuclear forces rally as if the threat is real.

But Lahaina was real, as was Spokane, and all the other DEW attacks in North America, Greece, and elsewhere. In my opinion, we’re definitely in what some would call a “kinetic” war.

***

But we needn’t be at war within ourselves. Not if we choose not to be. I like to think that those who are focused on loving all around them will pass through this untouched but that’s a pure guess on my part. (4)

In all of this it’s the Divine Mother’s timeline I’d like to know. That’s the only thing that matters. And she’s not  telling.

One last distinction.

If we desire God, we’re at last swimming with the current of life in the direction it’s going – towards God. We’re accomplishing life’s purpose. (5)

If we love, we’re at last being God. Yes, yes, yes, just a little at the moment. But capable of infinitely growing.

Not Acquisition, but Cessation of Desire

Not Acquisition, but Cessation of Desire

By Steve Beckow

Posted on April 4, 2023



Vrrooommm, vrrrrooomm!


Again, I have my eyes on indications that things are reaching a climax, which will bring the Reval with it. And when it does, our desires may go wild.

It’s called sudden wealth syndrome.

I wanted to look at the whole business of desire so that we can understand how it works in us and maybe be able to ride the wave of desire when it hits.

I’d like to do that by taking up something that Andrew Cohen said years ago. It isn’t that what he said hadn’t been said before; the Buddha said it. But something in the way he put it had me get it much deeper this time around.

The particular passage that struck me, which I want to look at here, is:

“The experience of perfect peace, of perfect happiness, is the result of the cessation of the endless craving for oneself – the endless, endless wanting only for one’s own self.”  (1)

So, by extension, perfect peace is not the result of obtaining the object of desire, but of ceasing to desire that which we have now obtained.

I need to make a switch here. I’m more attracted to the channel of love, bliss, ecstacy, and exaltation than I am to perfect peace. (2) So, instead of peace, may I substitute the divine quality of bliss from here on in?  Admittedly, they both end up in the same place. Thank you.

Let me use a concrete, personal example to illustrate what I think he’s saying.

I believe I felt bliss when I bought a Triumph TR-4 (see photo) in 1969 when I was around 23. Vrrooom, vrrroooommm! I was in heaven.

But, according to Andrew, it was not the acquisition of the TR-4 that did it. I had a tremendous amount of desire, longing, or craving tied up in owning that car – or more precisely in having the image that I thought went along with owning that car. And, when I bought it, I released all that energy. In the space thus created, I think Andrew says, I felt bliss.

Of course, bliss is natural to my being; it’s not foreign or external. I don’t go somewhere and get some. A fountain of bliss exists inside the heart.

When the heart opens, at last we have access to that fountain of love, bliss, ecstacy and more. And NOW, our Ascension has been said to be interdimensional and multidimensional. (3) If so, all dimensions will be open to us.

But I digress. When I saw the vision of the purpose of life in 1987, I was immersed in bliss. For three months in 2015 I lived in bliss. I never at any point left this 3rd/4th Dimension consciously (Michael says I left it many times, but I’m not aware of it). (4)

Andrew would say that my bliss arose not because I now owned a TR-4 but because I let go of the tremendous energy tied up in wanting the car. In the space created by the release of that wanting, my native bliss could arise and be recognized by me and felt.

It makes perfect sense to me that bliss would arise as the result of the cessation of desire rather than the acquisition of a purely-personal object of desire.

In the quiet mind, what is native to us can arise – purity, innocence, bliss, abundance, mastery, all varieties of love. The quiet mind is not driven by desire.

To borrow a phrase from an Indian sage, trying to find satisfaction through the acquisition of things is like drinking the ocean hoping to catch a fish.

Moreover, we’re not being asked to live as renunciates. I don’t think we’re talking about needing to divest ourselves of all desires forever. I believe we’re talking more about reaching a level of detachment where, when a moment of spiritual opening occurs, we can for that moment utterly abandon all else to focus only on the spiritual stimulus – bliss, peace, happiness, abundance, joy, mastery. Nothing successfully competes for our attention at that moment with the divine state we find ourselves in.

To my way of seeing, when the mind, of itself, falls silent, then we’re on the launch pad for whatever divine state  – love, peace, forgiveness, unity – we’ve contracted to experience and demonstrate. For me, it’s love. I abandon myself to love and then speak from that space. For you, it’s…. (6)

I know that, since my heart opening in 2015, my worldly desires, if I can call them that, have gone down and down and down. I’m not forcing anything. It’s just that the love of the higher planes is so much more enjoyable and satisfying that other desires can’t compete. They wither and fall away.

(1)  Andrew Cohen, The Promise of Perfection. Lenox: Impersonal Enlightenment Fellowship, 1998, 9. He could have added aversion but that is also only craving – craving to have something eliminated or taken away.

(2) I made a commitment to the Mother:

Divine Mother: You have said to me, “Mother, what if they forget? I will remind them. I will communicate with them through words, through my passion, through my heart, through my knowing. I will communicate the love to them.”

This is your task and it is a task of change as this planet, in this great chaos, in flux, chooses, yes, by this wonderful instrument of free will, as they choose and as you choose to simply be the love. It can have an infinite, literally infinite number of expressions. (Divine Mother in a personal reading with Steve Beckow, April 30, 2019.)

(3)  St. Germaine tells us:

St. Germaine: You see all the rules have changed.  You have decided to maintain form. That doesn’t mean we’re going to have you punished by not allowing you access to the 7th.

That is the old paradigm. ‘You can’t come here, unless you die.’ Well, that’s not true! That’s what enlightenment and Ascension is about. You can go as far [as you like?], you can go and feel and be the Love that is the 7th Christ consciousness. You can have it all and then you pull it into your physical form so that you are a walking, talking, working, creating Christ-conscious Being. (“Transcript: Heavenly Blessings – St. Germaine on Where to Look for Results,” channeled by Linda Dillon, July 15, 2014, at http://goo.gl/OxNpnG.)

(4) Here is one occasion on which I visited a higher dimension and was not aware of it; i.e., asleep:

Steve: X thinks I have ascended. Have I?

Archangel Michael: Yes, you have.

Steve: I have ascended? (laughter) I must have fallen asleep at that moment.

AAM: You have fallen asleep. When we have been working … this is about seven weeks ago … and in one of your moments of despair, of deep questioning, you have said, Michael, take me, and you have gone through the portal to receive an infusion of the energy of what to look forward to, to bring you greater peace, serenity, tranquillity, knowing. (Archangel Michael in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, July 11, 2014.) [Hereafter AAM.]

This must have been a moderated experience because Michael has expressed on other occasions a desire that I not ascend early lest I hit the highway. Here’s one instance of that line of discussion:

Steve: Should I be orienting toward ascending early or not? I have this sense that I’m supposed to be here.

Archangel Michael: You’re supposed to be here. [I’m a pillar. Of course I’m supposed to be here.]

S: So it’s not my lot to go early? I’m going to stay at this post.

AAM: If you sit with me and you ask of me to come right away, then of course, I will work with you, such is my love for you. That has not been our plan.

S: No … well, I understand that I’m supposed to be doing what I’m doing. I don’t want to be going against the plan.

AAM: Then stay put, dear heart. (AAM, Sept. 13, 2011.)

(6) Here’s a clue: As the Mother tells us, it’s whatever you love, whatever brings you bliss, whatever sets your toes tapping:

Divine Mother: Does it bring joy to your heart? Does it ignite that wonderful smile in your tummy? Does it make your feet tap, wanting to get going? Does it feel like love? Does it feel that you could take this project, whatever it is, and show it to me in full confidence and pride that this is something that you are offering yourself, each other, and the multiverse, the omniverse?

Now, if it does not give you that feeling, then set it aside. Go on to the next idea. Because the inspiration that you are being flooded with — and I mean each and every one of you; you are not in a lull, you are overwhelmed with ideas. So go to the next one, and say, all right, is this the one that makes my heart sing? And it may be a multitude of steps.

Do what feels like unbridled joy. That is how you create Nova Earth. That is how you say, as a human, as a creator race, this is how I work with the elementals, with the kingdoms, with the devas, with the planet, with my guides, with my star brothers and sisters, with the Company of Heaven.
